A High-Octane Literary Blog

Woo! It’s Tuesday! You know what that means! And if you don’t, well, where have you been?

Of course we have another edition of Jet Fuel Jukebox, our weekly 20-song playlist curated by Jake Johnson and I.

The annual Chicago Pitchfork music festival had its lineup revealed the other day, and since I’ve already purchased my tickets, I based my picks on some of the artists I cannot wait to see. And though there’s no Carly Rae Jepsen or Neon Indian in the playlist, it’s because I think you are all probably a little sick of me adding those artists to this playlist so much. You know that I am ecstatic to see both of those artists at the fest.

Also, tomorrow, Jake will have a review of Kanye West’s new Tidal-exclusive (for now, at least) album, The Life of Pablo. I think the album is pretty impressive and I’ve listened to it dozens of times in the past week, but how will Jake feel about it? Come back tomorrow and find out!

Artists on this week’s playlist include Empress Of, Ryn Weaver, and Porches.
